Un díaOne day,
De ventana abiertaWith the window’s throat wide open to the dawn,
Mi vecino vino a vermeMy neighbor crossed the threshold of my dusk,
Estaba lleno de desilusiónHis heart heavy, a cracked chalice brimming with disenchantment,
Me miró en los ojosHe searched my eyes as through a frost-blurred pane,
Y me dijoAnd spoke thus—
Ya dijimos No, pero el Si está en todoWe uttered No, yet Yes is sown in every furrow,
Lo de adentro y de afueraIn marrowed depths and on the wind-stripped eaves,
Lo de lejos y de cercaAcross horizons distant and those pressed near as breath,
Lo que todos hemos vistoAll that our retinas have harvested like tired fields,
Y lo que ni siquiera dicenAnd what is muffled, too faint for the tongue to name,
Ya dijimos NoWe uttered No—
Y fue ese díaAnd on that day,
Que yo me víI glimpsed myself
A mi mismoIn the mirror’s dusk,
En veinte añosTwined with my own shadow, twenty years unspooled,
Y nada cambiaAnd nothing stirs the pond beneath the ice,
No nada cambiaNo, nothing stirs,
Y nada cambiaAnd nothing stirs the pond beneath the ice,
No nada cambiaNo, nothing stirs,
Por estos ladosHere, where the reeds whisper old prayers,
Por estos ladosHere, where the reeds whisper old prayers,
Por otro ladosAnd along other banks,
Por estos ladosHere, where the reeds whisper old prayers,
No hay que ver el futuro para saber lo que va a pasarYou need not peer through time’s prism to foretell the spiral,
No hay que ver el futuro para saber lo que va a pasarYou need not peer through time’s prism to foretell the spiral,
No hay que ver el futuro para saber lo que va a pasarYou need not peer through time’s prism to foretell the spiral,
A pasarTo pass—
A pasarTo pass—
A pasarTo pass—
A pasarTo pass—
A pasarTo pass—
A pasarTo pass—
A pasarTo pass—
Ya dijimos No, pero el Si está en todoWe uttered No, yet Yes is sown in every furrow,
Lo de adentro y de afueraIn marrowed depths and on the wind-stripped eaves,
Lo de lejos y de cercaAcross horizons distant and those pressed near as breath,
Lo que todos hemos vistoAll that our retinas have harvested like tired fields,
Y lo que ni siquiera dicenAnd what is muffled, too faint for the tongue to name,
Ya dijimos No, pero el Si está en todoWe uttered No, yet Yes is sown in every furrow,
Todo lo que hayAll that exists,
No hay que ver el futuro para saber lo que va a pasarYou need not peer through time’s prism to foretell the spiral,
No hay que ver el futuro para saber lo que va a pasarYou need not peer through time’s prism to foretell the spiral,
No hay que ver el futuro para saber lo que va a pasarYou need not peer through time’s prism to foretell the spiral,
A pasarTo pass—
A pasarTo pass—
Quédate contra el muro. Ponte contra el muro. Anda para allá y cuenta otro.Lean to the wall, press yourself to its stone—now step aside, weave another tale.
El que a ti te guste, cuenta un cuento lindoChoose the one your spirit fancies—a fable spun of golden feather,
Había una vez un pajarito que estaba volando. Y ahí, había un señor con unaOnce, a birdlet wove the sky with its wings—yet there stood a man,
pistola muy grande e hizo asíClutching a gun vast as midnight, and he raised it thus—
